Your captain
Capt. Dave
Capt. Dave has run inshore fishing charters in Jacksonville since 1996, earning a reputation for experience and consistency. He specializes in light-tackle inshore fishing across marshes, creeks, flats, and rivers, targeting species like Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, and Flounder. As a licensed U.S. Coast Guard captain, he runs year-round trips that stay small and personal for a hands-on experience. His focus is simple, no crowding the boat, calm waters, hunting the inshore species of Jacksonville Florida's tidal waters with light tackle.
